Fluke
Is Fluke worth buying?
Fluke earned a buy verdict on 4 of the 7 Fluke products we compared (57%), above the 50% average across every brand on the site. 3 won their comparisons outright: Fluke 376 FC True-RMS Clamp Meter with iFlex, Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter and Fluke 62 MAX+. 1 is an "it depends": right for a specific buyer, not for everyone. We would skip 2: Fluke 925 Vane Anemometer and Fluke 2AC VoltAlert Non-Contact Voltage Tester.
Verdicts synthesize independent testing and long-term owner reports; we do not run a lab and never take review units. Each product below links to the comparison it was judged in. How we review.

The Best Digital Multimeters: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Tools & DIY
Fluke 117 Electrician's Multimeter
A tightly focused electrician's meter with a low impedance mode and a built-in non-contact detector, but it stops at CAT III 600 V.
Best for: Commercial and residential electricians working on branch circuits and feeders inside a building, where ghost voltage is a daily nuisance and CAT IV is not needed.

The Best Anemometers: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Tech & Gadgets
Fluke 925 Vane Anemometer
A well built vane meter whose own manual publishes a flat plus or minus 100 fpm accuracy, which is most of the reading at low velocity.
Why we skip it: The manual states accuracy as plus or minus 100 ft/min from 80 to 1,965 ft/min and plus or minus 150 ft/min above that, a fixed band rather than a percentage of reading.

The Best Non-Contact Voltage Testers: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Tools & DIY
Fluke 2AC VoltAlert Non-Contact Voltage Tester
A well-made always-on pen whose published specification gives you less to verify against than its own stablemates.
Why we skip it: No continuous self-test. Fluke's stated integrity feature is a Battery Check that its own footnote calls optional and for convenience only, and not a substitute for checking the unit on a known live source before and after use.
